Obama and the Democrats Owe Hillary Clinton and Her Supporters a Formal Apology for the Campaign's Sexism
Reader Comments
It Was Media Manipulation
There was plenty of sexism...There was race baiting all right....
But mainly it was media manipulation. The Obama campaign controlled the media and in Chicago style with no ethics or hesitation proceeded to minimize the opposition with a very successful plan to paint them as racists and to emphasize Bill Clinton's scandal and pretend that he had no accomplishments...
Obama's policies are all subject to change. His history as a State Senator show more about his ambition than any real core values. For all we know he really does believe as his the men he called his spiritual mentors...Pfleger and Wright believe. In the world Obama has inhabited for 20 years it is perfectly acceptable to call an opponent profane names from the pulpit. In the place Obama comes from Rezko was king. Does anyone really believe that Obama was the only link in the payoff chain that was unaware of the corruption he played a key role in?
Many Hillary voters feel assaulted and personally offended by the Obama campaign...the media....and the inside job that the DNC pulled on our candidate.
Defiance not "coming around" or "shutting up" or "sitting down" will be the proper response. McCain is not my first choice for 2008....but I respect and admire him.
This truly is a "change" election. I have never voted Republican before. I think in Texas McCain will win it anyway....but there are lots and lots of Hillary supporters here that will be voting McCain in Nov.
A Radical and a Muslim-- not POTUS here
I do not feel comfortable voting for a Radical Leftwing Elitist like bho.
He friends are radicals, terrorists, and Muslims. This is not SECURITY for
America. Day one, bho would have his eyes on the US Top Security Files and
who knows what would happen on Day two! If you love your country and want
to keep it SECURE, vote for the PATRIOT.
NO BAMA NO WAY--Another Dem has LEFT
Our entire family LEFT the Dem Party after 3 GENERATIONS of voting
Democrat. THIS IS NOT THE DEM PARTY I REMEMBER. What they
did to Hillary Clinton was a TOTAL DISGRACE. NO money from here
anymore, no Dem support, and we will do our best to VOTE AGAINST
EVERY DEM RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
Leave the DNC
I urge all Clinton supporters to LEAVE the DNC (and you all KNOW the reasons
why) and become an Independent. There are many Clinton groups "taking it
from here" to join and they will be activating and going to the Dem Convention.
PUMA pac is one of these groups blog.pumapac.org is their site--very fine
active goup.
There is NOTHING that bho, his campaign, or the DNC can do apology wise to
get our 18 million votes. We WILL be voting IN MASS for Sen. McCain UNLESS
Howard Dean & the DNC SEE the LIGHT of Day and the super delegates
realize their "selected" nominee is INDEED UNELECTABLE!!!!!!!!
Finally, may I STRONGLY suggest you read Dr. Ide's posting on this thread.
It is excellent and hits ALL the POINTS!!
Selected, NOT elected--WE will NOT unite!
I have read many of the posts--obvious that males here are the ones negating
the sexism that DID infact occur in this primary. The R&B/DNC sold out the BEST MOST ELECTABLE Candidate, Hillary Clinton. Now, the thugs in Chicago are in charge of the "new" DNC location with the "Head thug" incharge of it all and HE WILL MAKE A MESS OF IT ALL as he makes his (or she makes her) usual 3-4 gaffes a day.
I do not consider myself a Dem any longer after over 40 yrs. of voting that persuasion. And, I will not stay home, either (a stay home is a vote for bho). I will
vote for the other American PATRIOT, John McCain. I am hoping, however, that
the superdelegates will "see the light" and REINSTATE Sen. Clinton as the LEGITIMATE NOMINEE, the winner of more popular votes & electoral votes to
BE ABLE to put a Dem in the White House--A PATRIOT READY to SERVE and WORK HARD on DAY ONE!! Take it to the Convention HILLARY SUPPORTERS!!
Hillary WON OHIO --the WAY to the White HOUSE. Gov. Strickland of OH is a
HILLARY SUPPORTER--I can guarantee bho WILL NOT WIN IN OHIO--OHIO has
been aligned either Clinton or McCain. bho need NOT apply, the job's been filled.
You're not alone
Katie Couric joined you as a journalist to speak out about the laissez-faire attitude of the bulk of the MSM, the Democratic Party, and the Obama campaign, thinking Clinton supporters wouldn't take the disrespectful, degrading comments made about Hillary Clinton during the primaries too seriously. I agree with you, I don't believe they will fall in line and just do what the party wants them to do. I believe many will take a stand against the party, because many have principals and stand up against abuse of power, racism, sexism and any form of discrimination believing that is what our country is all about. We the people means all of the people have equal rights.
You and Katie are right this is a serious issue that Americans I believe will consider when voting in November.

Here is a LIFE TIME DEMOCRAT and Hillary supporter who just signed up to work on McCain's campaign in Pennsylvania. Obama doesn't have a chance of taking Pennsylvania in November. And when the truth about Obama and his wife surface, probably in October, I for one am going to thoroughly enjoy watching Obama's bid for the White House crash and burn.
RIGHT
When will move on from this.....An apology is not needed!!!! Why should an apology be ISSUED? I am a female and was a Hillary supporter until she suspend her campaign. Have you heard of the saying, "if you can not stand the heat get out of the kitchen." Well, my FELLOW HILLARY supporters Hillary knew exactly what she was up against, however, she underestimate her opponent. I am a TRUE Clinton supporter, I have every new report, every word she spoke, she will need to apologize as well. But that the game we play. She has a WOMANIZER husband, unfortunately, she was elected in New York because of her problems with Bill. She knew when she ran for Senate that she wanted to be president, there is a documentary on the Biography channel where she says that.
Hillary made mistakes that the bottom line, even when it was evident that she was not going to win, she continued to play the CAT and MICE games. But, as a SUPPORTER-I support her decision, RIGHT or WRONG.
We need to pull together as a party and do the right thing, if you decide to vote MCCAIN, do it. But as a LIFE TIME DEMOCRAT, I am going to vote my PARTY.
What in the WORLD
Ok, let's understand something. In an election someone has to WIN and someone has to LOSE. Why are we still talking about something that DO NOT MATTERS. I am a MILITARY VETERAN WOMAN, VERY EDUCATED and I do not think an apology is NEEDED. I am where I am today because of ME. NOT HILLARY. She is where she is today because of her MINDSET. NOT YES, RACISM AND SEXISM played a very BIG part, but the MEDIA did this. WE ALLOWED IT, we CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS. I was a Hillary supporter, but the fact I hear one thing and see something else, or I have a woman have right to change her mind don't set right with me. It's like having sex, we begin to ENJOY it after we have initiated it, then we say "NO" in the middle, come on. STOP PLAYING GAMES WOMEN. She ran the race the best she knew how, she LOST let's move on. If you are not going to support Mr. Obama oh well, that's your choice, but stop talking about it and be about.
Stop al the whining. No one STOLE ANYTHING, she lost CREDIBILITY, and she was no longer believable....GET THE HELL OVER IT.
Silly Ladies
in support of HRC..
Sit it out, but don't b#tch when Scalito joins the bench and overturns Roe vs. Wade.. Use your head, and stop being so ridiculously emotional..
BO never made any comments that could be misconstrued as being 'sexist.'
